Description

Illinois State Credit Union

Reports To: Branch Operations Manager

Position Type: Full-Time

Compensation: $20.00 - $23.00 / hr + commission eligibility

Illinois State Credit Union (ISCU) is a member‑owned financial cooperative serving roughly 18,000 members across five branches in Illinois. We exist to help our members reach their financial goals, and we believe the way we make people feel is the most powerful product we offer. Every team member plays a part in delivering that experience.

The Call Center Supervisor leads the day‑to‑day operation of our call center, the heart of ISCU's virtual branch. You'll manage a team of call center representatives, monitor queue performance and call quality, and step in on escalated calls when a member needs resolution. This is a working supervisor role. You'll take calls alongside your team during peak volume, short staffing, or whenever the need arises, so you stay close to the member experience and lead from the front.

Beyond the phones, you'll partner with branch operations to oversee our mobile app and online banking, since those digital channels are part of the same virtual branch your team supports. You'll coach the team toward strong service and referral behavior, keep staffing aligned with call volume, and reinforce our consultative, service‑forward culture while holding everyone accountable for both service standards and growth goals.
